They already went through The Sopranos in a weekend. After ruling out every other option, Nikki and Jason decide to adopt and are confronted by a world of bewildering new challenges. With their dysfunctional friends, screwball family, and chaotic lives, will the adoption panel agree that they're ready to be parents?

The show features Imelda Staunton, Ophelia Lovibond, and Oliver Chris, and has been created for Apple TV+ in partnership with BBC Studios. All eight episodes are now available.
